MECHANICAL MOVEMENT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented April 14, 1908.

Application filed October 20, 1906. Serial No. 339,797.

' To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, CHARLES F. JONES, a citizen of the United States, residing in New-- ton Highlands, county of Middlesex, and.

State of Massachusetts, haveinvented an Improvement in MechanicaLMovements, of whlch the following description, in connection with theaccompanying drawing, is a specification, like letters on the drawing repmore fully hereinafter described and then pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, wherein I have chosen to illustrate the invention as used for 0 crating a pump, Figure 1 is a side elevation o :a pump having my improvements applied. thereto. Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof; Fig. 3 is a section in the line 33, Fig. 1; Fig. 4 is a section in the line 44, Fig. 2; Fig. 5 is a section in line 5, Fig. 2; and Fig. 6 is a section in line 6, Fig. 2.

The base A has uprights A A that receive the shaft B, see Fig. 3, having at one end a crank pin B shown as a stud screw, and between its ends a threaded part A The shaft B sustains loosely a double yoke shaped member, one yoke being marked C and the other C, the yoke C embracing the actuating wheel C shown as having at its periphery ratchet teeth, while the yoke C embraces the upri ht A The double yoke has three holes in ine. In assembling the parts, the wheel 0 is inserted in the yoke C and the yoke and wheel applied to the frame so that the holes in the yoke and the Wheel are in line with the holes in the uprights A, A and then the crank shaft B is inserted as shown in Fig. 3, and the shaft is screwed into said Wheel. The depending arm a of the double yoke has connected therewith at thehole 0 any link or other device that in turn is connected with any moving element ofany apparatus with which the device is to be used, to vibrate said yoke about said crankshaft.

To rotate the shaft B slowly, I provide the yoke C with a sliding actuator or pawl D slidably mounted in said yoke, the acting end of the pawl being shaped to present a fiat face to contact with the radial sides 12 of the teeth of the wheel 0 while the extreme end of the pawl is shaped to correspond with the in- -gasket or packing f and a guide f clined face Ofrthe teeth of said wheel, a pawl of such shape when enga ing the teeth of the ratchet wheel substantial y fillin the notches and moving the Wheel'practical y positively without: any lost motion;

The awl shown has a stemd fitted to slide in a hole in the yoke C, and the stem is surrounded by aspring d that acts normally to maintain the end of the pawl incontact with the teeth of the wheel 0 the inclined end-of thepawl in the back stroke of the pawl carrier slidingbackwa-rdly against the spring d due to the-contact of said endwith the'inclined face of'the teeth of the ratchet wheel;

' Adetent d controlled byaspring- (1 serves to preventsanyabackward rotation of the shaft B1. In-the present embodiment of'my inven+ tion I have I shown the pawl and ratchet mechanism above described as used for 'operating the ump of a lubricator whichwis designed to f drce oil into: the steam chest of an engine, and E is the pump cylinder which is secured to the frame A by suitable screws 2. The pum is bored at e to receive a piston e connecte by link c with the crank pin B. The crank pin B is shown as carried by a crank plate having a series of holes, see Fig. 1, located at different distances from the center of the shaft B so that b adjusting the crank pin, the length of stroke of the piston may be regulated and adjusted. The piston enters the pump through a cylinder head f, a The side of the ump has a boss g from the bot tom of which, see Fig. 6, is an inlet or duct g that communicates by passage g with the space e of the pump in which works the end of the iston e.

The oss g is threaded to be enga ed by a check-box h, a portion of whichis tireaded for the reception of a pipe 71, that leads to the oil supply. The central art of the check box has a chamber m an the chamber is shaped to constitute a valve seat that sustains a check valve m shown as a ball, the latter" being seated normall on said seat by its own weight and the ack pressure of the oil in the assageway m lead-- mg to the duct g. The ox at the outer end of said chamber is tapped to receive a closure or cover 'm shown as a screw. The pump at the vipper end of passage 9 has a chamber n close as shown by a screw mph, the chamber being sha ed to constitute a valve seat for a valve 71. sihown as a ball acted upon by a spring 12?.

the lower end of The shaft B is moved intermittently by the yoke and wheel C and the crank pin is moved slowly step by step so that the piston is drawn slowly step by step from the s ace e causing the oil to enter sa1d space, an there after as the piston enters the space e slowly the oil therein is forced through the passage (7 the valve 1?? yielding. and causing the oil to e delivered slowly from the duct 4 into the pipe 5 leading to any part of any machine that the pump shown is to furnish oil for puroses of lubrication, the part receiving the ubricant slowly. Instead of the crank pin it is obvious that an eccentric, the usual mechaiical equivalent of a crank pin, may be use I Having described my invention What I claim as new and desire to secure by'Letters Patent is 1. In a device of the class described, the

combination with an element to be reciprocombination with an element to be reciprocated, of a shaft connected therewith, two

bearings A, A for the shaft, a ratchet wheel supported on said shaft between said bearings, a double yoke loosely sustained on said shaft, one portionof the yoke embracing said wheel and the other portion embracing the bearing A, a pawl carried by the first-named portion of the yoke, and an actuating link connected to the last-named portion of the yoke outside of the bearing.

'3. In a device of the class described,'the combination with an element to be reciprocated, of a shaft operatively connected to the piston, two bearings A, A for said shaft, said shaft projecting beyond the bearing A, a ratchet wheel fast on said shaft, a double yoke loosely sustained by said shaft, one portion of the yoke received between the bearings and embracing the ratchet Wheel, and the other portion of said yoke embracingthe bearing A a s ring-pressed pawl carried by the first-name portion of the yoke, an actuating member connected to the last-named portlon of the yoke.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

CHARLES F. JONES.
